Last but not least: A greeting from Ringier

So now it's happened: Vreni Schneider is officially a musician. Ringier had to fight for a long time until this fact was finally anchored in people's minds. Some obstacles were cleared out of the way until she was no longer reduced to her phenomenal skiing successes. "Leave Vreni alone!" was Blick's rebuke to Swiss television when Messrs. Giacobbo and Müller referred to the somewhat awkward choreography as "Glarner Gangnam Style" due to years of wearing ski boots ("SF drags our ski queen into the mud"). The rock that paralyzed the Gotthard line was later explained by the two of them via a video clip ("E Gruess us dä Bergä is Tal"). Opening the eyes of the ladies and gentlemen of Leutschenbach was certainly not a bad idea. Because even after the attempts to explain, they still have a hard time with Gold-Vreni's career 2.0. For example "Glanz & Gloria" still convinces todayMs. Schneider had "made her singing debut" on her favorite show, Happy Day. Of course she didn't, after all, she already waved her neo-hit "E Gruess us dä Bergä" through the TV landscape on the occasion of the national holiday. On SF1 - but in today's flood of channels, even a people magazine can't keep an eye on all of them. At least Blick didn't miss the appearance ("Vreni Schneider sings!").

Anyway. Everything turned out well. The fears expressed by Blick on August 20, 1994 did not come true ("Vreni Schneider: One-time detour"). The then still active ski racer announced that she would not sing on Sepp Trütsch's show "Musig-Plausch" after all. The slalom queen "never dreamed of making a name for herself as a folklore queen one day," the newspaper said with a worried undertone. At least the Swiss public once again has a really relevant topic to deal with. And for those who find it all too much: A "Kafi am Pischterand" helps. But "with music" please, as they say in the vernacular. (hae)
